Hello Queens

Hello Queens by mackyyyy.
--

Some more of the Hello Queens, boxing day fun with a girl and a camera photos, there's no reason for these pictures of this lass being called Hello Queens other than we listened to three Queens Of The Stoneage albums back to back on the night we took these photos and I guess it's a subconscious play on the 'Hello Boys' tagline too and I am lacking any sort of imagination. There aren't too many photos from this series that I like, still yet to even send the film I shot off to the lab.

I've been playing with the idea of buying myself a Yashica Mat124G after finding the work of kjten22 thanks to Lou O' Bedlam's blog.

I'm gonna have to find some new models.

Strobist: 580EXII @ 1/2 power shot into DIY cardboard and tinfoil ring flash. A little post processing done in PS3.

my dad's just had his toilet room decorated, I stole the spare roll and sellotaped it to the wall in my living room to use as a back drop! I've rolled it back up as best possible to use again some other time and stuck it behind my sofa!

I love quirky wall paper, probably because in my house it's been nothing but white or something painted white for as long as I can remember, when I get my own place I'm gonna go crazy with it.

I've always wanted to do this kind of work, it's just always been a case of finding someone willing to model/plucking up the courage to approach people. Glad you like!

Andrew
love the photo the colour etc backdrop is a simple idea but effective idea
as for your comment on taking shots of models
I would love to attempt that type of work but wouldn't know how to go about it
its not a voyeur type of thing but its the plucking up courage and/or doing that type of photography

sparkyuk99 - this is the first time i've done it! I know exactly what you mean. On this occasion I just went for it and asked, and she said yes. That's not to say I haven't been turned down though since :P

RexAriel - I removed it and resubmitted it couple of times to the group trying to figure out why I could only submit one image to the pool a day when it used to be unlimited, obviously the rules have changed. Not to worry.

Ace. In fact, I could see this as a QOTSA album cover.

I can hear it now...''I stare the lids off your eyes, gone down on your dirty mind & end up between your hips''

This shot gives me fever!! it's sexy, not cliche. Reminds me of Fiona Apple

I suppose thought you would never ask is better than hoped you would never ask
